Hardik Pandya: Indian cricket team's star all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur have been out of the Indian team for a long time. Hardik Pandya has been out of the Test cricket team for 6 years.

At the same time, Shardul Thakur is not a part of Team India due to injury. In such a situation, team captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir were looking for replacements for both the players for a long time.

Rohit Sharma got replacement for Hardik Pandya

Rohit Sharma was looking for a replacement for Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur for the Indian cricket team for a long time, but the team has not been able to find any such player so far. Earlier, Rohit Sharma has tried players like Shivam Dubey, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Chahar in the ODI and T20I team, but no player could perform as well as these two. However, now in the Test series against India vs Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma has found the replacement of Hardik Pandya and Shardul in the form of Akash Deep.

Akash Deep is creating a stir in the test match

In the first test match being played between India and Bangladesh, Akash Deep has bowled 5 overs in the first innings and has taken two wickets for 19 runs. Along with this, Akash Deep also bats in the lower order. He has contributed 17 runs while batting at number 9 for Team India. Akash Deep, who hails from Bihar, plays for Bengal in domestic cricket.

You may get a chance on Australia tour

If Akash Deep performs well in the upcoming matches and in the Test series against New Zealand, he may get a chance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy India vs Australia five-Test series and he can play the role of the fourth fast bowler for Team India and is also adept at batting in the lower order. In such a situation, he can play the role of an all-rounder for the Indian cricket team.
